For the beef
125g/4½oz fillet steak, cut into three slices diagonally
1 tbsp olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the wild mushroom ragoût
2 tbsp olive oil

200g/7oz selection wild mushrooms

Method
1. For the beef, brush the beef slices with the olive oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat a frying pan until smoking and sear the beef for 1-2 minutes on both sides (for rare), or until cooked to your liking, then remove from the pan and leave to rest on a warm plate.
2. For the wild mushroom ragoût, heat the oil and butter together in a pan and fry the mushrooms for 6-8 minutes, then stir in the parsley and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
3. To serve, spoon the wild mushrooms onto a serving plate and place the beef slices on top.
